This hotel is located in a large historic house conveniently located near Santa Ana station and walking distance from major landmarks like Plaza de Armas and Plaza de la Constitucion. The rooms are very basic and not equipped with a bar fridge, closet, iron, etc.. There is a fridge downstairs if you need to keep some leftover food cold. There was a strong smell from the bathroom, but this may be related to the city's sewer system.
Most staff we interacted with were able to communicate in good English and were very attentive to our needs. In fact, they were able to move us to a different room with A/C after spending a night in a room with a fan. Our new room was smaller and on the third floor (there is no elelvator!) but we agreed to this trade off given the hot temperature at the time.
We didn't feel unsafe walking around but we would not venture out very late at night - same applies every where in Santiago. If you are looking for more hustly and bustle, this is not the place for you. However, if you are looking for something quiet and nearby the historic centre and a subway station, this is not a bad option.
